A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the tragic consequences of a mental health issue such as 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 Dayton is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and 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 collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or aggressive encounter, 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 issue and not a crime keeps people 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 disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
