Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug treatment facilities available throughout the Fennimore area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab programs around Fennimore and in the country.
