Oakland - Other LanguagesAlthough finding a drug rehab to attend can seem like a difficult task, discovering one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, today a lot of rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have discovered a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of delivering their services other languages during treatment. Although they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they may perhaps 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.
