Drug treatment services for the hearing impaired are offered in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Individuals with a hearing impairment may be at a higher risk of addiction disorders because of their handicap. Having a significant impairment can be a source of distress, discouragement, depression, unhappiness and apathy for both adults and adolescents who could easily turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with these feelings and emotions. Hearing impaired rehab services are available in Renton to stop the cycle of 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 handicap.
Drug treatment centers with full time staff to assist the hearing impaired are the best facilities to consider. Some programs only employ 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 important activities they should be participating in daily. There may be video presentations offered which use sign language as well, which can also be quite helpful.
There are organizations and agencies which can provide hearing impaired individuals struggling with addiction with information and resources to find the recovery services they need. One is the Deaf Off Drugs and Alcohol (DODA).
