Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - El Reno, OK.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability 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 El Reno is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those 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 respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
