Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Rose Hill, NC.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the tragic effects of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rose Hill 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or hostile incident, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also all of society 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 recovery program.
