How to Make a Referral


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.
