Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes individuals significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Bothell, Washington area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Bothell, Washington and in the country.
