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

A crisis event, such as someone experiencing the tragic consequences of a mental health disability such as 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 Rosemont is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other relevant agencies as well as family members to help individuals in crisis. This begins with the training and education of healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and other contributing team members in the community so they know how to address the situation and work together during such a crisis. There are programs available to educate law enforcement officers and 911 emergency operators for example, which involves 40 hours of training in dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis, learning verbal de-escalation techniques so that they can address and resolve the crisis without it developing into a potentially combative or antagonistic situation, etc.

In many instances, 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 disturbance and not a crime helps keep people with mental health disorders out of jail and instead where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting getting help. Additionally this keeps people with mental health issues out of prison where they will not be able to appropriately handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. In lieu of jail, individuals in crisis can receive counseling, behavioral therapies, medication and other recovery services 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 properly treat them in a mental health program.
