Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their disability. Having a major handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Arlington to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't inhibited from getting better due to their handicap.
Drug rehab programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
