Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems as a result of their disability. Having a significant impairment can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in South Lake Tahoe 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 clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehab facilities that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to to look into. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
