People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs accessible throughout the Armstrong, Iowa area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug treatment facilities around Armstrong, Iowa and in the United States.
