People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs available throughout the Vallonia area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Vallonia and in the country.
