Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders due to their disability. living with a major disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Ottawa 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 recovering because of their disability.
Drug rehab facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
