Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers available throughout the Fullerton, California area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment centers around Fullerton and in the country.
