Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Carterville, Illinois area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug treatment programs around Carterville, Illinois and around the nation.
