Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Escondido area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Escondido and around the nation.
