People can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes people particularly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Whiteclay area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehabilitation centers around Whiteclay and in the country.
