Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment programs accessible throughout the Glade area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug rehab programs around Glade and in the United States.
