Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to 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 offered in Winslow 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 hindered from receiving help due to their disability.
Drug rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, 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 participating in daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
