Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available throughout the Golden Valley area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab centers around Golden Valley and in the United States.
