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

A crisis situation, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Montrose is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train 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 turning into a potentially violent or hostile event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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.
