Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Palo, Iowa area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation centers around Palo, Iowa and in the country.
