This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Martins Creek area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Martins Creek and in the country.
