RI International – Durham Recovery Response Center Claimed

About RI International – Durham Recovery Response Center

Crisis is our fastest growing area with new programs in Arizona, California, Delaware, North Carolina and Washington State. We’re also enhancing technologies and service lines within our existing array of Recovery Response Centers (Crisis Stabilization Programs), Evaluation & Treatment (Involuntary & Court-ordered Treatment), and Crisis Respites. And, we’re adding capacity through partnerships for “Air Traffic Control” equipped Crisis and Access Call Centers, Electronic Bed Inventories, Community-based Mobile Crisis Teams and high-tech dispatch.  All RI Crisis facilities follow Crisis Now’s crisis care principles and practices.
RI’s leadership — along with other members of the Crisis Services Task Force of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance) — created the Crisis Now concept and authored the Crisis Now paper; identifying the exceptional practices desired for crisis services. RI focuses on these practices including; recovery orientation, trauma-informed care, significant use of peer staff, a commitment to Zero Suicide/Suicide Safer Care, strong commitments to safety for consumers and staff, and collaboration with law enforcement.
RI is known for creating the best possible recovery experience, using healing spaces with recliners, soft colors and a home-like atmosphere.  The teams, comprised of doctors, nursing staff, and peers with lived experience, weave recovery, clinical, and medical services together, providing comprehensive care. RI makes every effort to eliminate seclusion and restraint and to serve all people regardless of level of acuity, without resorting to physical interventions. Peer-operated “Living Room” programs ensure that participants are paired with a team of Peer Support Specialists in recovery. Each guest is encouraged to work with the team and empowered to develop their own recovery plan.
