A crisis event, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability 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 Rockwell 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or hostile encounter, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals 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 appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
