Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Jacksonville, FL.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Jacksonville 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
