A crisis situation, such as a person struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mccammon is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or hostile episode, etc.
In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps 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 do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
