People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the unique issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug rehab facilities accessible throughout the North Miami area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around North Miami and in the country.
