People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. living with a serious disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Magnet to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better because of their disability.
Drug rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired people suffering 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).
