Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders due to their handicap. Having a serious disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Mahwah 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 clients aren't hindered from getting better due to their disability.
Addiction treatment centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to consider. Some facilities only employ part-time staff to assist and interpret this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which supply hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
