Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the varying problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs available throughout the Granada area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Granada and in the country.
