Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Forrest City, AR.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the tragic effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Forrest City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues 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. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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 a mental health recovery program.
