Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction problems due to their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Springfield 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 handicap.
Drug and alcohol treatment centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to to look into. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to discover and locate the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
