Individuals can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Hettinger area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Hettinger and around the nation.
