Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Florahome, FL.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol 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 Florahome is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts 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 respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or antagonistic event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in 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 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 recovery program.
