Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their handicap. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Burlington 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 hindered from recovering because of their impairment.
Addiction rehab facilities with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, 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 every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired people 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).
