Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pickens, OK.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can 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 alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Pickens to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from recovering because of their disability.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some programs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and 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 may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which is also really helpful.

There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
