Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a greater risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a root cause for distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Newport 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 because of their handicap.
Drug treatment centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal programs to consider. Some facilities only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients won't receive the same treatment as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
