People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Herndon area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug rehabilitation facilities around Herndon and in the country.
