Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Farmer, OH.

A crisis event, for example a person struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug 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 Farmer 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 addicts 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 effectively work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting 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 encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders 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 behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 program.
