Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Wadesboro, NC.

A crisis situation, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Wadesboro is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 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 becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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.
