Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of substance abuse problems because of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired services are available in Carbondale to stop the cycle of addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which offers treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from recovering because of their disability.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some facilities may only have part-time staff to interpret and assist this demographic, and this means hearing impaired clients may not benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with daily. There could be video presentations available which utilize sign language as well, which is also really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with information and resources to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
