People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Hudson Oaks area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug rehabilitation programs around Hudson Oaks and in the country.
