Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available throughout the Lavale area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Lavale and around the nation.
