Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Iuka, MS.

A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Iuka is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing 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 aggressive episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
