Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders due to their disability. Having a serious disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are accessible in East Greenbush 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 inhibited from recovering because of their handicap.
Addiction rehabilitation programs with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some facilities may only have 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 involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
