Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers available throughout the Gholson area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Gholson and around the nation.
