Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their impairment. Having a significant impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Sciota 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 hindered from getting better due to their impairment.
Substance abuse treatment centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
