Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Mingo Junction, OH.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can make sure they accept the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Mingo Junction is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond 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 supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or hostile situation, 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 health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders 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 handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 program.
