Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction problems due to their handicap. Having a serious disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are offered in New Iberia to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their impairment.
Drug rehab programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
