Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the various challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug treatment centers available throughout the Silver Springs area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehabilitation programs around Silver Springs and in the United States.
