Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Oregon, OH.

A crisis event, such as a person suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health disability like a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Oregon is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help those 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 react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly combative or hostile encounter, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits 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 treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
