Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Cebolla, NM.

A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Cebolla is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively 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 handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this 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. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
