Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities available throughout the Wallace area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Wallace and around the nation.
