Buckley - Other LanguagesWhile trying to find a drug rehab to attend can seem like a difficult task, finding one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, today a lot of programs employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have discovered a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of delivering their services other languages during 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 facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
