Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Nenana, Alaska area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab centers around Nenana, Alaska and in the country.
