Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Warwick, RI.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the tragic 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 treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Warwick is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this 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 rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
