Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their impairment. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Bloomsburg to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better due to their impairment.
Substance abuse treatment facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, 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 attending daily. There could be video presentations available which utilize 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 information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
