Spanish alcohol and drug treatment programs in Shelter Island Heights can help an ever-growing number of the American population address higher than average rates of drug and alcohol addiction among Hispanic men and women face in the United States. One of the biggest hurdles Hispanic people have to deal with while tackling substance abuse problems is the availability of facilities with staff prepared to deliver treatment services in Spanish. Another obstacle 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 are under the poverty line so can't pay themselves either.
Because many aspects of a drug and alcohol treatment program revolve around one-on-one communication with physicians, therapists, etc. someone who doesn't speak English is at a disadvantage at a program where Spanish speaking services are not available to them. But there are programs which offer Spanish language services and staff who can be of help to them in their own language. Fortunately, a good number of these programs understand the financial challenges that these individuals also face, and deliver treatment at little or no cost. Spanish-speaking drug and alcohol treatment facilities are most often located in the densely populated areas of cities that Latinos live in.
