Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Vida to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better as a result of their disability.
Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to to look into. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
