Men and women can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Riverside, California area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Riverside and in the country.
