Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Sevier, UT.

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue 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 Sevier is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting 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 effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health recovery program.
