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

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Winter Park 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education 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 education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with 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 becoming a potentially combative or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services 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 an appropriate mental health program.
