Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other help as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Owings area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs around Owings and in the United States.
