Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers available throughout the Valencia, CA. area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Valencia, CA. and in the United States.
