Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. living with a major impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions.

Addiction rehabilitation programs with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to select. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
