Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Taos, NM.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Taos is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many cases, 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 people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society 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 recovery program.
