Other Language Programs

People 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 opportunities are limited or inferior because they don't speak English. There are many substance abuse rehab programs available which cater to those who speak foreign languages, all of which provide a selection of programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to people who speak other languages are only short term rehab facilities, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should consult with an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug treatment program that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
