Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Heber City, UT.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the devastating effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Heber City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or hostile episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 a mental health recovery program.
