Men and women may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This at times makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the varying problems that this can bring in the perspon's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse problems is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often require ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab needs, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities accessible throughout the Drennen area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug and alcohol treatment programs around Drennen and in the country.
