Native American Or Alaska Native Languages - CableThere are specialized drug treatment centers that offer their services in Native American or Alaska native languages. These rehabilitation centers supply the same quality treatment to all their clients while also offering all counseling/therapy, enrollment documents, questionnaires and educational materials in the client's native language. The staff at the drug treatment program will most likely be bilingual and able to communicate with the clients in English or their Native American or Alaska native languages. The overall goal of all treatment programs is to return the client to their family, friends and community drug-free and able to stand on their own two feet. Recovery from drug or alcohol addiction is a challenging process, but one that will change the person and restore happiness into their life.
