People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap or particular physical challenge. This often makes people significantly more vulnerable to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their treatment program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities available throughout the Baxter area which cater to these special needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehab facilities around Baxter and in the country.
