Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rushville, IN.

A crisis situation, such as someone suffering the tragic repercussions of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Rushville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those 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 address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many cases, 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 keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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.
