Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Kennedale area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehabilitation facilities around Kennedale and in the country.
