DMH/DD/SAS provides specialized mental health and substance abuse services statewide for deaf and hard of hearing consumers of all ages. These services were formalized in 1992 and follow a state plan that guides the development and operation of services. Through regionally-based programs, culturally and linguistically appropriate outpatient services are provided throughout North Carolina by culturally competent clinicians who are fluent in sign language and understand the treatment needs of consumers who are deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind. The Division also operates a specialized Deaf Services Unit for individuals who are deaf and need inpatient psychiatric or substance abuse services.  The Unit is located at Broughton Hospital in Morganton.
