People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Rollingwood area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Rollingwood and around the nation.
