Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Countryside 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 prevented from recovering as a result of their impairment.
Drug rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
