Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Nicholasville 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 addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Nicholasville and around the nation.
