People can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Overton, Nevada area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug treatment programs around Overton and in the country.
