Plessis - Other LanguagesAlthough searching for a drug rehab program can seem like a difficult task, locating 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 located a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of delivering their services other languages during treatment. Even though they may not initially have the capability to offer their services in other languages they may be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Frequently the rehab program will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
