People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Florence, South Dakota area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Florence, South Dakota and in the country.
