Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Bigfork area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Bigfork and in the United States.
