People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Sebastopol area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab programs around Sebastopol and around the nation.
