Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Temple area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Temple and in the United States.
