Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their treatment plan, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the El Paso area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities around El Paso and around the nation.
