People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Oreana area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehab centers around Oreana and in the United States.
