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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating consequences of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Yellville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help 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 address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing 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 turning into a possibly dangerous or aggressive 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 health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
