Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their impairment. Having a major handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Ashford to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from recovering because of their handicap.
Addiction rehab centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some programs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
