Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This sometimes makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the various issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Washington Grove area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehabilitation facilities around Washington Grove and in the United States.
