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. 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 many substance abuse rehabilitation facilities available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer various programs to choose from. For example, some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services for individuals who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should seek the advice from a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug rehabilitation program that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
