Individuals may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying problems 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 treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Pompano Beach area which cater to these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Pompano Beach and in the United States.
