Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Red Springs, NC.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Red Springs is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or hostile encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 treat them in a mental health program.
