Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Rocky Ford, CO.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rocky Ford is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are 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 intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
