Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Delta, CO.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Delta is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 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 resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
