Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Johnston 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 hindered from recovering due to their handicap.
Substance abuse rehab facilities with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to consider. Some programs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can give hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
