Individuals may become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique issues that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment centers available throughout the Bayou Vista area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug rehab facilities around Bayou Vista and in the country.
