Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Centerville, IA.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Centerville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned 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 participating 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 operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or aggressive situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 program.
