Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their disability. Having a serious disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in North Dartmouth to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their handicap.
Substance abuse rehab centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some programs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which supply hearing impaired people suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
