Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Jasper, IN.

A crisis situation, for example a person experiencing the destructive effects of a mental health situation like a drug or alcohol 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 Jasper is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to help those in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other relevant team members in the community so they learn how to react and work together during such a crisis. There are training programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 40 hours of training in supporting the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, refining verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially dangerous or hostile situation, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health issue and not a crime keeps individuals 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 individuals with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Rather than in jail, individuals in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only benefits the individual 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 treat them in a mental health program.
