Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Paris to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from recovering because of their disability.
Drug treatment centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
