Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehab facilities available throughout the Milliken area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug rehab programs around Milliken and around the nation.
