People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Hills area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol treatment centers around Hills and in the country.
