A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hines 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 individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
