Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Malad City, ID.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive effects of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Malad City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, 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 keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also all of society 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 program.
