Our clinical model of care helps consumers living with serious mental illness, emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, and substance abuse issues obtain the treatment and skills they require to succeed. AltaPointe specially trains all direct-care staff in the prevention and management of aggressive behavior and crisis intervention. Staff members receive specialized training and gain required experience to work with specialized populations.
AltaPointe’s clinical staff members meet the appropriate Alabama State Department of Mental Health and other professional certification and licensure requirements. All medical staff members, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, possess licensure and/or certification from appropriate state and/or professional agencies. Depending on the needs of the individual consumer and the services offered by particular inpatient or outpatient programs, treatment teams may also include social workers, counselors, case managers, educational coordinators, discharge planners, recreational therapists, and behavioral staff. |
