Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their impairment. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Eureka to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ 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 essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can provide hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
