Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Adena, OH.

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the devastating consequences of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Adena is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or hostile episode, etc.

In many instances, 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 episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
