A crisis situation, such as someone struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Lorain is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to educate 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 intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and handle the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or aggressive incident, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person 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.
