Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders due to their handicap. Having a serious disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Santa Fe Springs 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 inhibited from receiving help because of their disability.
Addiction rehabilitation centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
