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

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the tragic consequences 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 help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Perry is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or hostile event, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting 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 effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. 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 treat them in a mental health program.
