Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a significant disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Ingleside 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 patients aren't inhibited from receiving help because of their disability.
Addiction treatment programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which supply hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
