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

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Questa is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates 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 law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting 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 becoming a possibly combative or aggressive event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
