Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Utica, NY.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Utica 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers 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 approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly dangerous or aggressive event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the person 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
