Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their disability. Having a major impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are available in Shelby to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from getting better because of their disability.
Addiction rehab facilities with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some rehabs only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, 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 every day. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
