Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - El Dorado, AR.

A crisis event, for example someone experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health disability 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 El Dorado is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
