People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Llano area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug rehab facilities around Llano and in the country.
