Other Languages - Eagles MereWhile trying to find a drug rehab facility can seem like a difficult task, finding one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days many programs employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have identified a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility 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 offer their services in other languages they might be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Often the facility will do its best to to provide special services in order to help everybody they can.
