When an individual is experiencing an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and helplessness characterized by an internal or external pressure they are considered to be in a crisis. Such an individuals may also experience a short-lived change in mental function leading them to experience feeling like they are having a breakdown, falling apart or losing their minds. Such and individual might also show changes in their moods, thoughts as well as behavior CITATION Mat15 \l 1033 (Goodman, 2015).
It is because of this reason that I decided to find out how this kind of individuals are assisted in dealing with the crisis they might be facing. A crisis state is mostly common in people who are known to abuse drugs excessively. This excessive abuse of drugs leads them to be dependent on these drugs in order for them to function normally. This means that without the use of these drugs, these people are bound to face an internal struggle that leads them to be in a hopeless state physically as well as mentally. This mostly happens when these people seek help to enable them to free themselves off drug dependency. At this point, these people require a lot of care and attention and it is the duty of the ones close to them to provide the care, attention and comfort these people require. One of the solutions most caregivers opt for in helping these people is booking them in a rehabilitation center or agency. The purpose of taking these people to a center is to get them away from any influence that may lure them back into the vice. Secondly the centers help in educating the individuals on the dangers of the vice as well as giving them the benefits of shunning the vice. They also help the individuals deal with their crisis by use of professionals who are specifically trained to deal with such issues CITATION RDB06 \l 1033 (Baler, 2006).
These centers offer treatment to persons in a mental crisis, which could include depression, suicidal thoughts as well as psychotic symptoms such as seeing Imaginary figures and hearing imaginary voices, all as a result of drug use and dependency for an extensive period of time CITATION BWF09 \l 1033 (Fletcher, 2009). I visited one such center to so as to enable me to understand the functions of these centers with regards to handling these individuals and successfully reintroducing them back to society.
