Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hamlet, NC.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with 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 treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hamlet is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those 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 the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
