Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are available in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of substance abuse disorders because of their impairment. Having a serious impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to alcohol or drugs to deal with these emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Hamer 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 inhibited from getting better because of their disability.
Substance abuse treatment programs that have full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate programs to consider. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on vital activities they should be attending every day. There may be video presentations provided which utilize sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are agencies and organizations which can supply hearing impaired people struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
