People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or unique physical problem. This often makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the unique problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and drug rehab for substance abuse issues is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehabilitation programs accessible throughout the Bodega area which cater to these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Bodega and in the United States.
