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 problems because of their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are accessible in Central to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help due to their impairment.
Substance abuse rehab facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
