Spanish-speaking drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Ava can help an ever-growing percentage of the American population address higher than average rates of alcohol and drug abuse that Hispanic women and men face in the United States. One of the tallest hurdles Hispanic women and men have to deal with while tackling substance abuse problems is the availability of programs with staff prepared to deliver treatment services in their language. Another hurdle is that fact that many Hispanic people may not even be an U.S. citizen, hence won't have health insurance coverage to cover the cost of treatment, and many live below the poverty line so they can't self-pay either.
Because many aspects of a substance abuse rehabilitation program revolve around one-on-one communication with therapists, physicians, etc. someone who speaks no English is immediately at a disadvantage at a program where Spanish language services are not available to them. But there are programs that offer Spanish speaking services and staff members who can help them in their own language. Fortunately, a good number of these facilities get the financial challenges that these clients also have, and offer rehabilitation at little or no cost. Spanish substance abuse rehabilitation programs are more often found in the densely populated areas of cities where Latinos live.
