Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. Having a major handicap can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Ada to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't inhibited from getting better because of their disability.
Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to to look into. Some rehabs only employ 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 important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
