Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues 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 drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Georgetown area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment programs around Georgetown and in the country.
