People who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive drug or alcohol treatment which is on par with English speakers. Speakers of 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 rehab programs available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer a variety of programs to choose from. For example, some drug rehab facilities which can treat people who speak other languages are only short term programs, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should consult with a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug or alcohol rehab program that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
