Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Krebs, OK.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Krebs 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 individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and 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 collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent 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 mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, 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 incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
