Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers available throughout the Sutter Creek area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Sutter Creek and in the country.
