Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Moscow area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug treatment centers around Moscow and in the country.
