Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Emmons area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug treatment facilities around Emmons and in the country.
