Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a root cause for discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Topeka 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 receiving help due to their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
