Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Swan area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug rehab programs around Swan and in the United States.
