Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pocahontas, AR.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects 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 Pocahontas 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 of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing 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 educate 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community 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.
