A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol 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 Moreauville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic encounter, 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 with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits 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 a mental health recovery program.
