Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Seaman, OH.

A crisis situation, such as someone suffering the devastating effects of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug 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 Seaman 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 individuals in crisis. This starts with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to react and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially violent or hostile situation, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a health episode and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only helps the person 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 properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
