Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes persons significantly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Baird area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug rehab facilities around Baird and in the country.
