GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
There are specialized drug rehabilitation programs that provide their services in Native American or Alaska native languages. These treatment programs provide the same quality treatment to all their clients while also offering all counseling/therapy, questionnaires, enrollment documents and educational materials in the client's native language. The staff at the drug rehabilitation facility will likely be bilingual and able to communicate with the clients in English or their Native American or Alaska native languages. The ultimate goal of all rehab facilities is to return the client to their friends, family and community drug-free and able to stand on their own two feet. Recovery from drug or alcohol addiction is a difficult journey, but one that will change the person and restore happiness into their life.
