Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their disability. Having a serious handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Litchfield 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 receiving help due to their disability.
Substance abuse rehabilitation programs with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best programs to select. Some programs 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 participating in every day. There could be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which is also extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
