Individuals may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes individuals even more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique problems that may pop up in the perspon's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers available throughout the Lamont, California area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment centers around Lamont and in the country.
