People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons even more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, due to the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Lodgepole area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in several drug rehab facilities around Lodgepole and in the country.
