Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pinehurst, NC.

A crisis event, for example a person suffering the tragic consequences of a mental health issue 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 Pinehurst is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those 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 react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many instances, 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 with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health program.
