Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Manchester 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 prevented from getting better as a result of their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some facilities may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be participating in daily. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which provide hearing impaired individuals suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
