Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a major handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Mineola to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't inhibited from getting better because of their impairment.
Drug rehab centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and 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 may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can give hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
