Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are accessible in Silver Spring to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from recovering due to their disability.
Addiction treatment centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to to look into. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
