A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rosemary Beach is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or aggressive incident, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis 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 getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society 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.
