Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Cleveland, TN.

A crisis event, for example a person experiencing the devastating consequences of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Cleveland is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond 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, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially violent or hostile situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health crisis and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. 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.
