Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Bellevue, WA.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Bellevue 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, 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 education programs available 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 skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or aggressive incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems 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, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only benefits the person 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 treat them in a mental health program.
