Individuals who speak other languages, other than English that is, should be able to receive substance abuse treatment which is on par with English speakers. Those who speak other languages should not feel that their treatment opportunities are limited or inferior because they don't speak English. There are many drug and alcohol treatment centers available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which provide a variety of programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse treatment programs which cater to individuals who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should seek the advice from a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug treatment program which would be suitable to their needs.
