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

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the tragic effects of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Port Huron is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned 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 respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
