Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Holland area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Holland and in the country.
