Derby - Other LanguagesWhile finding a drug rehab facility can seem to be an overwhelming task, finding one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, today many treatment centers employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have found a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of delivering their services other languages during you or your loved one's time in treatment. While 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.
