Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction problems as a result of their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Waterloo to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from receiving help due to their disability.
Addiction rehabilitation centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
