Other Language Programs

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