Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Puyallup, WA.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol 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 Puyallup is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or aggressive situation, 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 mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people 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 will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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.
