Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, 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 accessible in Independence to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their handicap.
Addiction treatment facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist 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 every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
