Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - King, NC.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in King is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, 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 offered 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or aggressive incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
