Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Branchville area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Branchville and in the country.
