Men and women may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, because of the unique challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse disorders is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs available throughout the La Salle area which cater to these special needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around La Salle and in the country.
