Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, as a result of the unique challenges 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 rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Truckee area which cater to these special needs. Expert drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Truckee and in the country.
