People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab facilities available throughout the Pollok area which cater to these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs around Pollok and in the United States.
