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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Sugar City 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
