Individuals can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Glendale area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Glendale, CA. and in the country.
