Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes persons even more susceptible to getting involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for substance abuse issues is often needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other support as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug rehabilitation centers accessible throughout the Cushing area which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in many drug rehab centers around Cushing and in the United States.
