Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Fargo 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 inhibited from recovering due to their impairment.
Drug rehab facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can provide hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
