Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Melbourne, FL.

A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Melbourne 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 begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting 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 developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this 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 disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
