Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Pulaski 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 clients aren't inhibited from receiving help as a result of their disability.
Substance abuse treatment facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can provide hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
