Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Upper Marlboro, MD.

A crisis situation, such as a person struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Upper Marlboro 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 addicts in crisis. This begins 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 effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or aggressive episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals 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 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.
