Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Pecos, NM.

A crisis situation, such as a person experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Pecos 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 and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate 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 intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or aggressive episode, etc.

In many instances, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
