People who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive drug or alcohol treatment 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 substance abuse rehab centers 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 rehabilitation programs which cater to those who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers can seek the advice from a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program which would be suitable to their needs.
