Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Snowflake, AZ.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability 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 Snowflake is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help 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 learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or hostile event, 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 keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
