A crisis event, such as a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Bechtelsville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts 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 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 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 address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or antagonistic situation, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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 a mental health program.
