Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the unique problems 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 rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehab facilities accessible throughout the Golovin, Alaska area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab facilities around Golovin, Alaska and in the country.
