Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. Having a major disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Covington to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from getting better because of their impairment.
Addiction treatment centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending daily. There could be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
