Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Lynden, Washington area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab programs around Lynden, Washington and around the nation.
