Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers available throughout the Greensburg area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Greensburg and in the country.
