A lack of demographic information and data related to the achievement of
short-term goals during substance abuse treatment among persons who are
deaf or hard of hearing dictated the need for the study. New York State
maintains a database on all individuals who participate in treatment.
Within this database, 1.8% of persons in treatment for substance use
disorder (SUD) were also deaf or hard of hearing.
As hypothesized, members of the deaf and hard of hearing sample were
older, likelier to be white, and likelier to be female, relative to the
SUD-only group.
For both groups, alcohol, heroin, and cocaine had the highest rates of
reported use.
Achievement of short-term goals in the areas of alcohol use, drug use,
vocational/educational goals, and overall goals indicated no differences
between the deaf and hard of hearing group and the SUD-only group.
