People may become addicted to drugs or alcohol despite a handicap or particular physical problem. This often makes people particularly more vulnerable to getting involved in substance abuse, because of the various problems that this can bring in the individual's life. This is true for people in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and rehab for alcohol and drug abuse issues is often required. Deaf or hearing impaired people will need ASL or other support as part of their rehab program, and there are drug rehab facilities available throughout the Jackson area which specifically help fill these special needs. Skilled drug rehab counselors who understand the need for ASL and can supply other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers are readily available in several drug treatment programs around Jackson and in the country.
