Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their disability. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are offered in Lisbon to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
