People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Erieville area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab centers around Erieville and around the nation.
