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 addiction disorders due to their impairment. Having a significant handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Ravenna 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 hindered from getting better due to their impairment.
Drug treatment programs 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 this demographic, which 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 may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
