Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems as a result of their handicap. living with a serious disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Jacksonville to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from getting better due to their disability.
Drug treatment programs with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. 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 essential activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that can provide hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
