Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs available throughout the Carlton area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Carlton and in the country.
