Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their handicap. living with a major disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are offered in Pittsfield to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers 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 centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, 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 involved with daily. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the recovery services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
