Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the varying challenges that may pop up 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 issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers accessible throughout the Solomon area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment centers around Solomon and in the country.
