Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Albemarle, NC.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Albemarle is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people 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 problems 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, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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.
