Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their disability. Having a significant disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Meadville to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from receiving help due to their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehab 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 hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
