Other Languages - MarquetteAlthough finding a drug rehab to attend can seem to be an overwhelming task, locating one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days a lot of rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have identified a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of delivering their services other languages during treatment. Although they may not initially have the capability to offer their services in other languages they may be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Frequently the rehab program will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
