Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. People with hearing impairment may be at a greater risk of addiction problems as a result of their handicap. Having a major handicap can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression and apathy for both adults and adolescents who may turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings. Hearing impaired services are offered in Lancaster to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that clients aren't hindered from recovering because of their impairment.
Drug rehab centers with full time staff to provide assistance for the hearing impaired are the most appropriate facilities to to look into. Some facilities only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, which this means hearing impaired clients may not make as much progress as everyone else and will miss out on essential activities they should be participating in every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be very helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which give hearing impaired people struggling with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One of these is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
