Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Camdenton, MO.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug 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 Camdenton 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 begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 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 resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue 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. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, 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 a mental health recovery program.
