Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems due to their disability. Having a significant disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Dillsburg 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 inhibited from receiving help because of their handicap.
Addiction treatment programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, 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 daily. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
