Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their disability. Having a significant handicap can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Gadsden to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from receiving help due to their impairment.
Addiction rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with daily. There could be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
