People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Sugar Land area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Sugar Land and around the nation.
