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

A crisis event, such as a person struggling with the destructive consequences of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hanoverton is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 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 handle the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address 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 help them recover. This not only helps 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 treat them in a mental health program.
