Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their disability. Having a major disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Glade Park 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 inhibited from receiving help due to their handicap.
Drug rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to to look into. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that provide hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
