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

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the devastating effects 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 Marks is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way 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 individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
