Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying problems that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often essential. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment programs accessible throughout the Anahuac area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab facilities around Anahuac and in the United States.
