Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs accessible throughout the Tooele area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab programs around Tooele and around the nation.
