Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Eufaula, OK.

A crisis event, such as someone suffering the tragic consequences of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol 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 Eufaula is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic situation, 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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 treat them in a mental health program.
