People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying problems 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 rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Tranquility area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Tranquility and in the United States.
