People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes persons particularly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is sometimes essential. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug treatment programs available throughout the Bayard 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 a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Bayard and in the country.
