Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the various problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Arlington area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in numerous drug rehabilitation programs around Arlington and in the country.
