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

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their handicap. Having a serious impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Union to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from recovering as a result of their handicap.

Addiction treatment programs with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, 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 participating in daily. There may be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.

There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
