Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Kent, OH.

A crisis situation, such as a person suffering the devastating effects of a mental health issue such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Kent is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or aggressive situation, 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 mental health disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the individual 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 an appropriate mental health program.
