A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive effects of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Centerville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or antagonistic situation, 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 episode and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 recovery program.
