Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Campbell, OH.

A crisis situation, for example a person suffering the destructive consequences 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 need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Campbell 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 those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with 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 possibly dangerous or aggressive episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and 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 properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual 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.
