Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Tallahassee, FL.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health situation like 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 Tallahassee is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive 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 people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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 treat them in a mental health program.
