People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the individual'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 disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Rogue River area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Rogue River and in the country.
