People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug treatment programs accessible throughout the Terrell area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment centers around Terrell and in the country.
