People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab facilities available throughout the Tripoli area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol treatment centers around Tripoli and around the nation.
