Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Waverly, OH.

A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the devastating consequences of a mental health issue such as 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 Waverly is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist 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 respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train 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 skills so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a 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 individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the individual in crisis, but also the entire community 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.
