Men and women can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical problem. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers accessible throughout the Madison area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug rehabilitation programs around Madison and in the United States.
