Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression 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 available in Plano to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from receiving help because of their impairment.
Drug rehab facilities that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
