Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction problems because of their impairment. Having a significant impairment can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Umatilla to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't inhibited from getting better due to their impairment.
Drug treatment centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best programs to consider. Some rehabs may only employ part-time staff to interpret and assist 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 involved with every day. There could be video presentations offered which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
