Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are accessible in both an inpatient and outpatient basis. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a major disability can be a source of discouragement, depression and apathy for both adolescents and adults who may turn to alcohol or drugs to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired treatment services are available in Arlington to help resolve addiction for these clients, with ASL and other assistance which provides treatment information and education in writing so that patients aren't prevented from receiving help because of their disability.
Drug rehabilitation programs with full time staff to help the hearing impaired are the most ideal facilities to select. Some rehabs only have part-time staff to assist and interpret hearing impaired clients, and this means hearing impaired clients won't benefit as much as everyone else and will miss out on important activities they should be involved with every day. There may be video presentations available which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies that can give hearing impaired people suffering with substance abuse issues with resources and information to discover and locate the treatment services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
