Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fort Collins, CO.

A crisis event, such as a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Fort Collins is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health issues 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 counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health recovery program.
