Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Ada, OH.

A crisis situation, such as a person struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health issue like a drug or alcohol 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 Ada is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps 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 program.
