Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an outpatient and inpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment can be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders due to their impairment. Having a significant handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Springfield to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from getting better due to their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehab centers that have full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the best facilities to to look into. Some rehabs may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, which this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be participating in every day. There could be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which is also quite helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which give hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
