Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders due to their impairment. Having a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Brunswick to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better as a result of their impairment.
Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
