Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Reedy area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug rehabilitation centers around Reedy and in the United States.
