Individuals 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 quite a few substance abuse rehab facilities available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer various programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to those who speak other languages are only short term rehab facilities, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should consult with a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug or alcohol treatment program that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
