Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Philadelphia, MS.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic effects of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Philadelphia is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting 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 becoming a potentially dangerous or antagonistic event, 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 keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
