Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Montverde, FL.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol 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 Montverde is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or hostile situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 a mental health recovery program.
