Men and women may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Mineral area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Mineral and in the United States.
