Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Center Point area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug treatment programs around Center Point and in the country.
