Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Rolling Fork, MS.

A crisis event, for example someone experiencing the tragic consequences 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 Rolling Fork is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or aggressive situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be 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 appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
