People may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical issue. This often makes people even more susceptible to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various issues that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often require ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs available throughout the Mabank area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug treatment programs around Mabank and around the nation.
