People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the various issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Garden Ridge area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Garden Ridge and in the United States.
