A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability such as 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 Listie is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders 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 do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in 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 keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
