Individuals can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes people significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the varying challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Cataldo area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Cataldo and in the country.
