Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Lewis, CO.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Lewis to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help as a result of their handicap.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.

There are agencies and organizations which can provide hearing impaired individuals 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).
