Men and women may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Rotan area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers around Rotan and around the nation.
