Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. living with a significant handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Schenectady to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better as a result of their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired individuals 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).
