Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders as a result of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Ripley 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 recovering due to their handicap.
Addiction rehabilitation centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with daily. There could be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
