People who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive drug or alcohol rehabilitation 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 rehabilitation centers available which cater 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 can treat individuals who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should consult with an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug rehabilitation program that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
