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

A crisis event, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health disability like 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 Kenton 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 addicts in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. 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 recovery program.
