Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Newport, AR.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Newport 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 those 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 training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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.
