Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders as a result of their handicap. Having a serious impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Windham to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from receiving help because of their handicap.
Drug and alcohol treatment centers with 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 hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can give hearing impaired individuals suffering with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
