Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Bapchule, AZ.

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the devastating effects of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Bapchule is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available 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 intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the person 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.
