People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Terrytown area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Terrytown and in the United States.
