A crisis event, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue like 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 Tracy City 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered 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, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly combative or aggressive episode, 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 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 receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. 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 treat them in a mental health recovery program.
