Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction disorders due to their handicap. living with a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Sterling to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their disability.
Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired people 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).
