Facts

- PCP was first administered as an IV anesthetic during medical procedures, but was never approved for human use because of problems during clinical studies, including intensely negative psychological effects.
Other Languages - RaccoonAlthough finding a drug rehab facility 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 discovered a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood 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 provide 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 rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
