Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Camp Hill, PA.

A crisis event, for example someone suffering the destructive consequences of a mental health disability like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Camp Hill 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 those in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a possibly dangerous or antagonistic encounter, etc.

In many cases, 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 helps keep people with mental health disorders 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 do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits the person 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
