Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Gloucester, MA.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are accessible in Gloucester to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their handicap.

Addiction rehab programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.

There are organizations and agencies that can provide hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
