Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment programs accessible throughout the Red Wing, Minnesota area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment programs around Red Wing, Minnesota and around the nation.
