Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This often makes people significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers accessible throughout the Boone area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug treatment centers around Boone and around the nation.
