Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Chester, VA.

A crisis event, for example someone experiencing the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Chester is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned 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 know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or hostile event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and 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 handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 an appropriate mental health program.
