Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Grand Island to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from receiving help due to their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to select. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
