Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their handicap. Having a significant disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Brattleboro to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehab facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some programs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important 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 provide hearing impaired people 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).
