Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders due to their handicap. Having a major impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Mount Morris 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 recovering due to their handicap.
Substance abuse rehab programs that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
