Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Belleville, NJ.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Belleville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially dangerous or aggressive situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health program.
