Individuals who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive substance abuse treatment which is on par with English speakers. Speakers of 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 many substance abuse treatment programs available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer a selection of programs to choose from. For example, some drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to individuals who speak other languages are only short term programs, but there are more long term options available. Foreign language speakers can consult with an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program which would be suitable to their needs.
