Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Baraboo, WI.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the tragic repercussions of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Baraboo is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help 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 address the situation 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or aggressive encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the individual 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 a mental health recovery program.
