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 because of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Kingsport to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from getting better as a result of their disability.
Drug rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
