Other Languages - RichmondWhile finding a drug rehab program can seem to be an overwhelming task, discovering one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days many rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have identified a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of delivering their services other languages during you or your loved one's time in treatment. Although they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they may be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Often the rehab program will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
