Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Westdale area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehabilitation programs around Westdale and in the country.
