Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Eden area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug treatment programs around Eden and in the country.
