People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This often makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Milmay area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug treatment centers around Milmay and in the country.
