Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Maitland, FL.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the tragic consequences 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 treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Maitland is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts 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 address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or hostile event, 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 health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
