A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Seminole 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 addicts 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 programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or antagonistic event, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues 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 benefits the person 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
