Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Padroni, CO.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Padroni 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react 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 handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or hostile situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and 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 handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery 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 recovery program.
