Addiction Treatment Services in Other Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Washington, LA.

Drug and alcohol treatment services are offered in languages other than English from treatment facilities with bilingual staff as well as from substance abuse treatment educational resources available in other languages. Addiction rehabilitation facilities in Washington that deliver rehabilitation services in other languages will hold group counseling or therapy in those languages, and will have either hard copy or digital educational materials accessible in those languages as well. The most common "other-language" programs available are Spanish language rehabilitation services, because Spanish speaking clients represent the highest percentage of other language speaking individuals needing rehabilitation. There are substance abuse treatment locator tools that you can find online at https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/

Finding such a program when English is not your first language can be beneficial for more reasons than the challenges with verbal communication, because there are also cultural/social differences and other things to be taken into consideration. When providing rehabilitation for someone who speaks another language the treatment staff must not only be able to communicate with them easily and freely, but also know their culture, background, and specific beliefs and values that should be considered when trying to treat their substance abuse problem. Someone looking for treatment in other languages will want to make sure the facility has staff that are capable of performing rehabilitation services in their native language but who are also capable of identifying and understanding their culture and heritage.
