People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Post area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Post and in the United States.
