Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Randolph to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better because of their handicap.
Drug rehab centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some programs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired individuals suffering 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).
