Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. Having a serious 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 offered in Norwich to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from recovering as a result of their handicap.
Addiction treatment centers that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some programs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that supply hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
