Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Grand Marais, MN.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic repercussions 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Grand Marais 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their disorder, 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 an appropriate mental health program.
