Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their impairment. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Scottsville to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their handicap.
Addiction rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to to look into. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with daily. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
