Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Red Bank, NJ.

A crisis event, such as a person experiencing the destructive consequences 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 Red Bank is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and utilizes healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to assist individuals 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 learn how to respond and work together during such a crisis. There are education programs available to train law enforcement officers and 911 emergency dispatchers for example, which involves 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 developing into a potentially dangerous or antagonistic incident, 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 health episode and not a crime helps keep individuals having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in treatment and getting help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able 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 treatment to rehabilitate them. This not only benefits the individual in crisis, but also all of society because it costs more to incarcerate someone with a mental health disorder in prison than it does to treat them in a mental health recovery program.
