People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Southlake area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Southlake and in the country.
