People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs available throughout the North Lakewood area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around North Lakewood and in the United States.
