Men and women can become addicted to drugs despite a handicap or particular physical issue. This often makes people particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol addiction, because of the varying issues that may pop up in the individual's life. This is often a factor for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse problems is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired people often need ASL or other assistance as part of their drug rehab plan, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities available throughout the Scooba area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other essential help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in several drug treatment centers around Scooba and around the nation.
