People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in substance abuse, due to the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers available throughout the La Feria area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities around La Feria and in the United States.
