Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug rehabilitation centers available throughout the Westcliffe area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug rehab facilities around Westcliffe and in the country.
