Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction problems due to their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are accessible in Martindale to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which includes recovery and treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't prevented from receiving help as a result of their handicap.
Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to to look into. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be involved with daily. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be really helpful.
There are agencies and organizations that provide hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with information and resources to find the rehabilitation services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
