Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Mackay, ID.

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mackay 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 starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn 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 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 turning into a potentially combative or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address 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 helps the individual 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 a mental health recovery program.
