Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehab centers accessible throughout the Dennis area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehabilitation centers around Dennis and in the country.
