Because deafness or hearing loss pose their own challenges in
coping
with risk factors and accessing and receiving treatment services,
the
Alabama Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation has
established an Office of Deaf Services to break down the barriers
that inhibit the department in its mission to enable Alabamians
to
live in recovery
