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

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the destructive consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Shakopee is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a 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. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 program.
