Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - De Queen, AR.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the devastating repercussions of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in De Queen is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
