Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Feesburg, OH.

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the destructive 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 Feesburg is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly violent or hostile incident, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead 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 properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
