Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Woodburn area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol treatment programs around Woodburn and around the nation.
