Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying issues that may be a factor 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 sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Terril, IA. area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehab programs around Terril, IA. and around the nation.
