Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a serious handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Berkeley Springs to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help as a result of their disability.
Drug rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to select. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
