Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their disability. living with a significant disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in Lancaster to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from getting better due to their impairment.
Addiction rehab programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some programs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can give hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
