Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their impairment. Having a major handicap can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Berkeley to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their disability.
Addiction rehab centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to consider. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
