People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers available throughout the Burlington area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation centers around Burlington and in the United States.
