Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hartford, KS.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the tragic effects of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hartford is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals 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 know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or aggressive situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person 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.
