People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Huntly, Virginia area which cater to 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 numerous drug treatment programs around Huntly, Virginia and in the country.
