Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Corinne, UT.

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug 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 Corinne is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many instances, 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 properly 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 help them recover. This not only helps the person 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 program.
