A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health issue like 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 Crown City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts 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 know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 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 address and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or antagonistic encounter, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those 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 keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
