A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Cubero 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 law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing 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 train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or hostile encounter, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the individual 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.
