People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Hemet, California area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug treatment facilities around Hemet and in the country.
