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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Daisy 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 addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or hostile episode, 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 health issue and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps 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 program.
