Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This sometimes makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available throughout the Green Mountain Falls area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab centers around Green Mountain Falls and in the United States.
