People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This often makes people particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, as a result of the unique issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Fort Bidwell, California area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug treatment centers around Fort Bidwell and in the country.
