Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab centers accessible throughout the Winona area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug rehab facilities around Winona and around the nation.
