Individuals can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the North Anson area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around North Anson and around the nation.
