Individuals may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Francis Creek area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab centers around Francis Creek and in the country.
