Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Jonesboro, AR.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the destructive effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Jonesboro 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 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 approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address 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 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 recovery program.
