Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This sometimes makes persons significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the various issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Stonyford area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab programs around Stonyford and in the United States.
