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

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the devastating repercussions 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mooreville 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 begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train 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 intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly 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 effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
