People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Roma area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Roma and in the United States.
