Other Language Programs

Individuals who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive drug or alcohol rehabilitation which is on par with English speakers. Those who speak other languages should not feel that their treatment curriculum or treatment setting is going to be any less effective because they don't speak English. There are quite a few drug and alcohol treatment centers available which cater to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer various programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to those who speak other languages are only short term rehab facilities, but there are more long term options available. Foreign language speakers can consult with an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug rehab facility that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
