Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Piedmont area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Piedmont and in the United States.
