People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Gay area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Gay and in the country.
