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

A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the devastating effects 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 Salt Lake City is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available 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, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery 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.
