Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Springerville, AZ.

A crisis event, for example someone experiencing the tragic repercussions of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Springerville 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or aggressive incident, 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services 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 program.
