Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Lexington area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehab facilities around Lexington and in the country.
