Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Fort Pierce to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from getting better as a result of their handicap.
Addiction rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that provide hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
