This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Longview area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Longview and in the United States.
