Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers accessible throughout the Griffith area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug treatment centers around Griffith and in the United States.
