Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Montclair, NJ.

A crisis situation, for example a person struggling with the destructive repercussions of a mental health disability such as a drug or alcohol 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 Montclair is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training and education of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other relevant team members in the community so they know how to respond and effectively work together during such a crisis. There are training programs offered to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which includes 40 hours of training in collaborating with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a possibly violent or hostile episode, etc.

In many instances, Crisis Intervention Teams are used as a means of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to properly respond to what is really meant to be a health disturbance and not a crime keeps people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. This also keeps individuals with mental health issues out of prison where they do not have access to adequate mental health therapy and resources to properly address their issue, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other treatment to help them recover. This not only helps the person in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to keep someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in an appropriate mental health program.
