Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their impairment. Having a major disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Kansas City to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from getting better due to their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some facilities may only employ 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 essential activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which provide hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
