Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders as a result of their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Ellsworth to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help due to their disability.
Drug rehabilitation programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some programs may only employ 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 vital activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
