Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Pinellas Park, Florida area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab facilities around Pinellas Park, Florida and in the country.
