Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical issue. This often makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers available throughout the Monroe area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab centers around Monroe and around the nation.
