Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the varying challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Mansfield area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug rehab programs around Mansfield and around the nation.
