People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Almond area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehab centers around Almond and around the nation.
