Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bock, MN.

A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Bock is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts 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 learn 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 collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or aggressive episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. 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 recovery program.
