Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems as a result of their handicap. Having a significant handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Santa Paula 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 recovering due to their handicap.
Substance abuse rehab centers that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't 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 provided which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can supply hearing impaired people struggling 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).
