People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available throughout the San Juan area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around San Juan and around the nation.
