People can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This at times makes people particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the unique issues that this can bring in the individual's life. This is often a factor for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons often need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol rehab centers available throughout the Moody A F B area which specifically help fill these special needs. Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug and alcohol treatment facilities around Moody A F B and in the country.
