Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Rochert, MN.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health situation such as 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 Rochert 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 begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn 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 collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community 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 program.
