Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Godwin area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Godwin and in the United States.
