Individuals can become addicted to alcohol or drugs despite a handicap or personal physical challenge. This often makes persons particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the various challenges that this can bring in the individual's life. This is the case for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals often require ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities available throughout the Savanna area which cater to these special needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug treatment facilities around Savanna and around the nation.
