Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Tullahoma, TN.

A crisis event, such as a person suffering the tragic effects of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Tullahoma is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
