Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Camden, NJ.

A crisis situation, for example someone struggling with the devastating effects of a mental health issue like alcoholism or drug addiction, calls for an intervention by a team of professionals who can help get them the help they so desperately need before it's too late. A Crisis Intervention Team in Camden 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 law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered 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 approach and resolve the crisis without it turning into a potentially combative or antagonistic episode, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to the incident as a mental health episode and not a crime keeps individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and receiving help. This also keeps people with mental health problems out of prison where they will not be able to effectively address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other recovery services to help them recover. This not only benefits 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 an appropriate mental health recovery program.
