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

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rea 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 and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative 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 health episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders 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 properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
