Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Sikeston, MO.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the tragic effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Sikeston is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available 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 intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, 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 issue and not a crime helps keep 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 disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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.
