Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Potwin area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug treatment programs around Potwin and in the United States.
