Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction disorders due to their handicap. living with a major impairment can be a root cause for distress, 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 offered in Lebanon to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from receiving help as a result of their handicap.
Drug treatment facilities with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some programs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can give hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
