Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the La Cygne area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs around La Cygne and in the country.
