People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the North Manchester area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab centers around North Manchester and in the United States.
