Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Deweyville, UT.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the tragic effects of a mental health issue like 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 Deweyville 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 individuals 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 know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
