People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Crescent Valley, Nevada area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Crescent Valley and around the nation.
