Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pittsfield, ME.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in Pittsfield to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from getting better because of their handicap.

Drug rehabilitation facilities that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.

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