Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bartlesville, OK.

A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the tragic effects of a mental health issue 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 Bartlesville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts 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 address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals 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 issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu 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 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.
