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

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the destructive consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Valmora is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially dangerous or aggressive incident, 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 health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
