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

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the destructive consequences of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hendersonville 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 begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
