People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical issue. This often makes people even more susceptible to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the varying challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for substance abuse disorders is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other help as part of their treatment plan, and there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities accessible throughout the Fairhope area which cater to these needs. Skilled treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehab programs around Fairhope and around the nation.
