Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pine Ridge, KY.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Pine Ridge is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and 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 collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly violent or aggressive situation, 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 health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
