Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. living with a major disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Visalia 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 prevented from receiving help due to their disability.
Addiction treatment programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
