People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their drug rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Lamar area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Lamar and in the country.
