A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Roosevelt is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting 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 dangerous or aggressive episode, etc.
In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services 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 recovery program.
