Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction problems due to their disability. Having a major impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in White Plains 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 inhibited from receiving help because of their impairment.
Drug and alcohol treatment facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some programs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
