Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers available throughout the West Bend area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug rehab facilities around West Bend and around the nation.
