Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Inland, NE.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating 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 treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Inland is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual 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 a mental health program.
