Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction problems because of their handicap. Having a major impairment 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 deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Lake Mills to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from recovering due to their handicap.
Drug rehabilitation facilities with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some programs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
