People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Lake Dallas 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 substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Lake Dallas and in the country.
