Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their disability. Having a significant impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in Hurley to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from receiving help as a result of their impairment.
Substance abuse treatment programs that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some rehabs 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 participating in daily. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
