Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Caledonia, MI.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Caledonia is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or hostile incident, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders 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 appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also all of society 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.
