Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Minersville, PA.

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the destructive 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 Minersville is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help addicts 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 address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which includes 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation skills so that they can address and handle the crisis without it turning into a possibly combative or aggressive event, 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 mental health issue and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting 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 appropriately handle their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, those in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other mental health services to rehabilitate them. This not only helps 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.
