People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers available throughout the Drummond area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehab programs around Drummond and in the country.
