Men and women can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This at times makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Christoval 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 available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Christoval and in the United States.
