A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol 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 Springfield 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, 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 crisis 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. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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.
