Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction disorders due to their disability. Having a serious handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are accessible in Chester to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from getting better due to their impairment.
Addiction treatment centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret 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 attending every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
