Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Lancaster, California area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab facilities around Lancaster and in the United States.
