Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Kearny, AZ.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Kearny 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 individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered 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 techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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 an appropriate mental health program.
