Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers available throughout the Lake Park area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Lake Park and around the nation.
