Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Rockford to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't inhibited from recovering as a result of their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehab centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some programs 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 vital activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
