Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders due to their disability. Having a major impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Lebanon 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 clients aren't hindered from receiving help as a result of their handicap.
Addiction rehab programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can give 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).
