People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable 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 individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse disorders is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available throughout the Boulder area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug rehabilitation facilities around Boulder and around the nation.
