Men and women may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the various challenges 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 often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehab programs available throughout the Wishram area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Wishram and in the country.
