Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Parryville area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment programs around Parryville and in the United States.
