Men and women can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes persons particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the various issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab program, and there are drug rehab centers available throughout the Cave City area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Cave City and around the nation.
