Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the unique issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Dewar area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Dewar and in the United States.
