People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will require ASL or other help as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers available throughout the Pomona, Missouri area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug treatment centers around Pomona, Missouri and in the United States.
