People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the unique challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Cape Charles area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehab centers around Cape Charles and in the country.
