Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug rehabilitation centers available throughout the Montgomery area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug treatment programs around Montgomery and in the United States.
