Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the various problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Powers Lake area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation centers around Powers Lake and in the country.
