People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Mountain View area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation centers around Mountain View and in the country.
