Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Crest Park area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab centers around Crest Park and around the nation.
