Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Tarlton, OH.

A crisis situation, for example someone suffering the destructive repercussions of a mental health situation like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Tarlton is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn 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 dispatchers for example, which involves 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 approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a health crisis and not a crime keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, 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 incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health recovery program.
