Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Green Cove Springs area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Green Cove Springs and in the country.
