Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Charlotte, NC.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the tragic effects of a mental health situation such as 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 Charlotte is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or hostile situation, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 an appropriate mental health program.
