Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Little River area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Little River and around the nation.
