Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying challenges 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 drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Beaver Dam area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug rehab centers around Beaver Dam and in the country.
