Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Rampart area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Rampart and in the United States.
