Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Henrietta, MO.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Henrietta 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training 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 education programs available 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime keeps 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 issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services 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.
