Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Stronghurst, IL.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their disability. Having a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Stronghurst 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 prevented from getting better due to their impairment.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.

There are organizations and agencies that give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
