Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their disability. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Charleston to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from recovering because of their impairment.
Drug rehab programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to to look into. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
