Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Hayesville, OH.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can make sure they accept the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Hayesville 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators 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 turning into a potentially combative or hostile event, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. 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 a mental health program.
