Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Farmington, MO.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Farmington is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts 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 react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or aggressive event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
