Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Cape Girardeau to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their handicap.
Substance abuse rehab programs with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some programs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
