Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bailey, CO.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic effects of a mental health issue 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 Bailey is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant 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 dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address 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 rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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 a mental health program.
