Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Moorhead, MN.

A crisis event, such as a person struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Moorhead is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
