A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Daytona Beach is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or aggressive encounter, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
