Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Brookline to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from getting better because of their impairment.
Substance abuse rehab facilities with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
