Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems as a result of their impairment. living with a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in Okeechobee to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from recovering due to their handicap.
Substance abuse rehabilitation centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
