Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems due to their handicap. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Manchester to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from recovering due to their disability.
Drug treatment centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
