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

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the devastating 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 need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hibbing is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating 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 available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues 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 benefits 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
