Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab centers accessible throughout the Richmond area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment centers around Richmond and in the country.
