A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the destructive consequences of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol 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 Stacyville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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 a mental health program.
