People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Emmet area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Emmet and in the United States.
