People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Fremont area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Fremont and in the country.
