Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Goodman area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug rehab facilities around Goodman and in the United States.
