Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. Having a major disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Hyattsville 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 inhibited from getting better due to their handicap.
Drug rehab centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to select. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired people suffering 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).
