Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique challenges that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Clarkson area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug rehabilitation centers around Clarkson and in the United States.
