Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - New Bedford, MA.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their handicap. Having a serious impairment can be a root cause for 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 rehab services are accessible in New Bedford 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 clients aren't prevented from recovering as a result of their disability.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to select. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending daily. 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 individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
