Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Raymore, MO.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the destructive effects of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Raymore is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle 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 helps the individual 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.
