Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Tinnie, NM.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the destructive 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Tinnie 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 begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or aggressive episode, etc.

In many cases, 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 health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
