Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Westley, California area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Westley and in the country.
