Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes individuals even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Waterloo area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Waterloo and in the United States.
