Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Geff area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab programs around Geff and in the country.
