Treatment Services for the Hearing Impaired - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Ironside, OR.

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. People with hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders due to their handicap. Having a major disability can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Ironside to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help as a result of their disability.

Drug treatment facilities that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations provided which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.

There are organizations and agencies that supply hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
