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 problems because of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Raleigh to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from getting better due to their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehab centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, 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 available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
