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

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug 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 Kansas City 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 those in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile event, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community 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.
