People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Redwood City area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug treatment programs around Redwood City, California and in the country.
