Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Britt area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional 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 many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Britt and around the nation.
