Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their impairment. Having a major handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Dunedin to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from recovering as a result of their impairment.
Drug rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to to look into. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
