Men and women may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes individuals significantly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs available throughout the Galena area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug rehab programs around Galena and in the country.
