Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the unique problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Blue Lake area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab centers around Blue Lake and around the nation.
