Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dundee, OH.

A crisis situation, for example someone experiencing the tragic repercussions of a mental health issue like 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 Dundee 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train 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, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or hostile episode, 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 mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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.
