Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems due to their disability. Having a major disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in North Freedom to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from receiving help because of their impairment.
Substance abuse treatment centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
