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

Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction disorders as a result of their disability. Having a major disability can be a root cause for discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Kent to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from getting better due to their handicap.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be attending every day. There could be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be extremely helpful.

There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
