Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the San Luis, CO. area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug rehab programs around San Luis, CO. and in the country.
