This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will require ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab facilities available throughout the Batesville area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug treatment facilities around Batesville and in the country.
