Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug treatment facilities available throughout the Arkport area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab facilities around Arkport and in the United States.
