Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their disability. Having a major impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Kingsford to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better due to their impairment.
Substance abuse treatment facilities that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
