Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Brenham area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab 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 programs around Brenham and in the country.
