Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Vici, OK.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the tragic consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol 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 Vici is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or aggressive event, 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 episode and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual 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.
