Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Tazewell, TN.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the destructive effects of a mental health disability 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 New Tazewell is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned 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 learn how to react 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 involves 40 hours of training in supporting 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 turning into a possibly combative or hostile event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment 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.
