People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Burt area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab programs around Burt and around the nation.
