Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the unique problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug treatment facilities available throughout the Woodsboro area which cater to these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation programs around Woodsboro and in the country.
