People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Black Canyon City area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment centers around Black Canyon City and in the country.
