People may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse issues is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Garibaldi, OR. area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Garibaldi, OR. and in the United States.
