Individuals may become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This at times makes persons even more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, as a result of the various challenges that may be a factor 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 necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehab programs accessible throughout the Marianna area which specifically help fill these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around Marianna and around the nation.
