Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - St. Peter, MN.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in St. Peter is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or hostile encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, 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 incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
