Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Slidell to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from receiving help because of their disability.
Addiction rehab facilities with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some facilities 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 available which use sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
