Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their impairment. Having a significant impairment 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 and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Fort Walton Beach to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help due to their disability.
Drug rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital 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 which can provide hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
