People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes persons even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Murray area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment centers around Murray and in the country.
