A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the tragic consequences 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 treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mount Clemens is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or aggressive episode, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits 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.
