Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Cornish, ME.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their disability. living with a serious disability can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Cornish to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from recovering because of their handicap.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, 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 involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.

There are organizations and agencies that give hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
