Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Jackson, MS.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive effects of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug 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 Jackson is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or aggressive incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
