Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their handicap. living with a serious handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Ellsworth 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 due to their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which 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 daily. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can give hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
