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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the devastating effects of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Joplin is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training 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 training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or aggressive situation, 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 health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps 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.
