Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - East Rochester, OH.

A crisis event, for example someone experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in East Rochester is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic incident, 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 crisis and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address 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 individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
