What Is Crisis Intervention?
The purpose of crisis intervention is to assist individuals with overcoming devastating emotional, behavioral, physical, and mental issues relating directly to an addiction. Crisis intervention is normally a short-term solution for dealing with stress and trauma. The average time for crisis intervention is three months or less.
By focusing on the overwhelming or traumatic event, an individual can find a quick solution to avoid severe mental and emotional issues later. Utilizing crisis intervention in the short-term can push an individual in the direction of a more long-term solution, such as rehabilitation treatment. During the crisis intervention, a dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorder can be determined and improve the individual’s treatment results.
How Does Crisis Intervention Help Substance Abuse?
Crisis intervention has shown to help those with a substance abuse problem because they are unaware of how their behavior is harming others or themselves. Intervention helps the individual recognize their dangerous behavior and the negative impact they have on others around them. Through guided professional help, individuals are shown how their abuse causes relationship, legal, financial, and medical problems. Successful crisis intervention ends with admittance into a rehabilitation program for further healing and recovery.
What Are the Different Crisis Intervention Procedures?
Crisis intervention works best when the process is tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Typical procedures commonly found during crisis intervention include:
- The Creation of a Solid Structure: Teaches how to craft and use a behavioral support community
- Breaking Negative Cycles: Recognizing harmful behaviors and replacing them with positive actions
- The Formation of Short-Term Dependencies: Bonding between the counselor, patient, and support community
- Recognizing the Problem: Discovering the underlying causes of the problem to end the harmful cycle
- Challenging Beliefs and Expectations that Cause Problems: Examining the thoughts and actions leading to the negative behavior and replacing them with healthier options
- Awareness and Observation: Shows the individual how their choices have impacted their current situation and allows them to escape further trauma in a healthy manner
- Unlocking Inner Potential: Strengthening and empowering the individual to push through the crisis
- Education: Learning techniques to deal with trauma
