Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their handicap. Having a significant handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Presque Isle to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from receiving help due to their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, 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 could be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that provide hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
