Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Weiser, ID.

A crisis situation, such as a person struggling with the destructive consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Weiser is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or aggressive situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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 an appropriate mental health program.
