Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Conway, AR.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Conway is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or antagonistic event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
