Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Columbia, KY.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Columbia is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing 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 educate 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or antagonistic event, 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 health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting 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 properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
