Other Language Programs

Individuals who speak other languages, other than English that is, should 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 and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 provide services for those 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 facility that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
