Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Pine Hall, NC.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability such as 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 Pine Hall is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts 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 educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 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 approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health issue 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 problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 treat them in a mental health program.
