Men and women may become addicted to alcohol or drugs no matter their handicap or unique physical challenge. This often makes individuals even more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various problems that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Barker area which cater to these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol rehab programs around Barker and in the country.
