New York Substance Use Treatment for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

According to the New York Times, in a 2014 census, it was estimated that there were over 208,000 deaf or hard of hearing in New York City. In the western part of the state, the Rochester area is home to roughly 90,000 deaf or hard of hearing and is the largest deaf and hard of hearing population per capita. There are many barriers that the deaf and hard of hearing community face. When struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, there are not always resources for them to access. There is a lack of awareness about the problem of substance use. Treatment programs for the deaf and hard of hearing will need counselors who know American Sign Language, assistive listening devices, TV decoders, and other forms of communication.

There are many reasons why someone chooses to abuse drugs or alcohol. Many within the deaf or hard of hearing community struggle with unemployment, inadequate support from family and friends, and insufficient services. The deaf and hard of hearing community are at a higher risk for alcohol and drug abuse than the general population. However, when they choose to go to treatment, they will need access to the resources that allow them to communicate. When the deaf and hard of hearing attend treatment, they want to ensure the counselor or some staff know American Sign Language. Within the state of New York are some drug treatment programs that can help the deaf or hard of hearing.
