Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the varying problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Monument area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug treatment programs around Monument and in the country.
