People who speak other languages, other than English that is, should be able to receive drug or alcohol 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 drug rehabilitation programs available which cater to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer a selection of programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse treatment programs which provide services for people who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers can seek the advice from an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug treatment facility that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
