People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons even more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Alamosa area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug and alcohol rehab centers around Alamosa and in the United States.
