Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their handicap. Having a serious disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in South El Monte to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from recovering due to their disability.
Drug rehab facilities with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which provide hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
