Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their disability. Having a significant disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Forsyth to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better due to their handicap.
Addiction rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some programs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
