Individuals can become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more vulnerable to becoming involved in alcohol or drug addiction, due to the varying problems that may be a factor in the individual's life. This is the case for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse disorders is often necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other help as part of their rehab needs, and there are drug rehab programs accessible throughout the Tatum area which specifically help fill these needs. Expert treatment counselors who understand the need for ASL and can offer other crucial assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily accessible in a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers around Tatum and in the country.
