Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Corinth, MS.

A crisis event, for example a person suffering the devastating consequences of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Corinth 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 know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or aggressive situation, 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 health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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.
