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

A crisis event, such as a person suffering the devastating repercussions of a mental health situation such as a drug or alcohol addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the treatment they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Uniontown is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other participating team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate 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 skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic 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 mental health crisis and not a crime helps keep people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment 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 an appropriate mental health program.
