Philip, South Dakota - Other LanguagesWhile searching for a drug rehab program can seem to be an overwhelming task, locating one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, today many rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have found a rehab 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 offer their services in other languages they might 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.
