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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug 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 Robinsonville 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 of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or hostile event, 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 keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this 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. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
