People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Bartonsville area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Bartonsville and in the country.
