Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse problems is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Clint area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Clint and in the country.
