Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems due to their disability. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Huntington 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 prevented from receiving help as a result of their disability.
Addiction rehab programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
