People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Kingwood area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Kingwood and in the country.
