Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Wellington area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Wellington and in the United States.
