Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their handicap. Having a major impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Kissimmee to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't inhibited from getting better because of their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
