Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Solgohachia, AR.

A crisis event, such as a person suffering the devastating effects of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Solgohachia 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 individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or aggressive episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
