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

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Long Prairie 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 those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or hostile episode, 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 disturbance and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems 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 behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
