Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Kalaheo area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug rehab facilities around Kalaheo and in the United States.
