People may become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes people significantly more susceptible to getting involved in substance abuse, due to the varying challenges that may be a factor in the perspon's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for drug and alcohol abuse problems is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their rehab plan, and there are alcohol and drug rehab programs available throughout the Tyndall area which cater to these needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily accessible in several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around Tyndall and around the nation.
