Crisis Intervention Team - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Grove, PA.

A crisis situation, such as someone experiencing the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability such as alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention directed by professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in West Grove is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates law enforcement, healthcare, and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate 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 techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially violent or aggressive episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to the incident as a health issue and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to properly handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the person in crisis, but also the entire community because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to properly treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
