Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction problems due to their handicap. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Costa Mesa 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 prevented from recovering because of their impairment.
Drug rehab programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which 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 could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
