Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their handicap. 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 feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in St. Charles 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 receiving help because of their disability.
Substance abuse treatment centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some rehabs may 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 important activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
