Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse problems because of their impairment. Having a serious handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are accessible in Lake Benton to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't hindered from receiving help due to their impairment.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to to look into. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and 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 daily. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
