Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction disorders as a result of their impairment. Having a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Sedalia to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help due to their impairment.
Substance abuse rehab programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
