People can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Mission Hill area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab programs around Mission Hill and in the country.
