People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes people even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique issues that may pop up in the individual'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 needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Humboldt area which cater to these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Humboldt and in the United States.
