People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes individuals significantly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab facilities accessible throughout the Brothers area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation programs around Brothers and in the country.
