Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of addiction problems as a result of their impairment. Having a significant impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Chestnut Hill to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from recovering because of their disability.
Addiction rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some programs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
