Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their disability. Having a significant disability 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 cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are accessible in Cottonwood to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better as a result of their disability.
Drug rehabilitation centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
