Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Malvern, AR.

A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Malvern is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep 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 issues 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, 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 all of society 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 recovery program.
