Individuals can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the unique challenges that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the Cordova area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can supply other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation programs around Cordova and in the United States.
