Sheppard AFB - Other LanguagesAlthough finding a drug rehab facility can seem to be an overwhelming task, discovering one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days a lot of rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have located a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of delivering their services other languages during treatment.
