Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the various issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Lincoln area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Lincoln and around the nation.
