Craig - ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing ImpairedToday's drug rehab centers often accommodate a variety of client's needs such as ASL or other assistance for hearing impaired. These rehab facilities supply their clients the opportunity to receive substance abuse treatment the same as their other clients while utilizing ASL or other assistance. Hearing impaired clients encounter the same drug and alcohol addiction problems as anyone else including problems with their health, relationships, finances and school/work situation. Attending one of these drug rehabilitation programs can provide the hearing impaired client the ability to get off drugs and build a new life.
