Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the varying problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs accessible throughout the Tower area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation centers around Tower and in the country.
