Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes persons significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that may pop up in the individual's life. This is the case for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse problems is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Bainbridge area which cater to these needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other essential assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Bainbridge and around the nation.
