Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Portsmouth to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from recovering due to their handicap.
Drug rehab programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that give hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
