Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Barboursville, West Virginia area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Barboursville, West Virginia and in the country.
