Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Braham, MN.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the devastating repercussions of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Braham is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react 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 techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic situation, 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
