Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their handicap. Having a major impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in Kent to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehab programs with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to discover and locate the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
