In 1989 The Minnesota Chemical Dependency
Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Individuals began. This model substance abuse
treatment program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing persons offers a full range of treatment
services as well as education, training, and referral. We would like to take this time to
reacquaint you with our program and offer you information on referring to our center. Since
the Program opened, staff have developed
specialized approaches designed to meet the communication and cultural needs of Deaf and
Hard of Hearing persons in chemical dependency treatment. These approaches include attention to assessment,
primary treatment, family therapy and aftercare.
Also, among Program accomplishments is the creation of two
videotapes presented in American Sign Language with voice and captions; the publication of
our Clinical Approaches Manual which captures the philosophy and approaches of the
Program; completion of hundreds of hours of outreach and training; and publication of the
Choices Curriculum and a relapse prevention workbook.
Below is a list of topics to help provide you more
information about making a referral to our program. We encourage you to contact our
program if you have any questions or would like more information. We can be reached by
phone at 1-800-282-3323 V/TTY;
by Video Phone 1-866-928-5713; by fax
at 1-612-273-4516; or by E-mail at Deafhoh1@fairview.org.
