Individuals can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Winslow area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Winslow and around the nation.
