People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Canyon Country, California area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs around Canyon Country and in the country.
