Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment centers available throughout the Madisonville area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Madisonville and in the country.
