Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the various problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities accessible throughout the Battle Mountain area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know 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 Battle Mountain and in the country.
