Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their disability. Having a significant handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Norwich to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their disability.
Addiction rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
