Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical issue. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the various issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Barstow, California area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in many drug rehabilitation programs around Barstow and in the country.
