People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Carter Lake area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug treatment facilities around Carter Lake and in the United States.
