A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the tragic repercussions 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 Morgan is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or antagonistic event, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 an appropriate mental health program.
