Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Moab, UT.

A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the destructive consequences of a mental health situation such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Moab is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
