Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the various issues that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Durango area which specifically help fill these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol rehab centers around Durango and around the nation.
