People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the Indianola area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Indianola and in the country.
