Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Rush Center area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehab programs around Rush Center and in the country.
