Other Language Programs

Individuals 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. 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 provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which provide various programs to choose from. For example, some drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to people 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 treatment facility which would be suitable to their needs.
