Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Soda Springs, ID.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic consequences 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 Soda Springs is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
