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

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the destructive consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Louisburg 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 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 address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive encounter, 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 individuals 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 will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
