Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various challenges that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers accessible throughout the Buchtel area which specifically help fill these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in a number of drug treatment facilities around Buchtel and around the nation.
