People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Santa Ana area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Santa Ana, California and in the country.
