Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges 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 problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers accessible throughout the Shawneetown area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Shawneetown and in the country.
