Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Severna Park, MD.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Severna Park 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 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 respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or antagonistic incident, 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 health issue and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
