Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Farmville, VA.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the destructive effects of a mental health disability such as 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 Farmville 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating 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 becoming a possibly combative or antagonistic episode, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual 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 program.
