Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their handicap. living with a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Augusta to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from recovering due to their impairment.
Drug treatment centers that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can give hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
