Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Clairsville, OH.

A crisis event, for example a person suffering the devastating effects of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in St. Clairsville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes law enforcement, healthcare, and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or hostile episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to effectively address 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 rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in a mental health recovery program.
