Crisis Intervention Team - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Rosenhayn, NJ.

A crisis event, such as someone struggling with the devastating 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 Rosenhayn is a form of community monitoring which calls upon and activates healthcare, law enforcement and other concerned agencies as well as family members to assist addicts in crisis. This starts with the training of law enforcement officers, healthcare providers, and other participating team members in the community so they know how to react 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 dealing with the mental health professionals they will be working with during the crisis intervention, learning verbal de-escalation skills so that they can approach and resolve the crisis without it becoming a potentially combative or hostile encounter, etc.

In many cases, Crisis Intervention Teams also help by way of jail diversion. Meaning, being able to appropriately respond to what is really meant to be a mental health episode and not a crime keeps people having a mental health crisis out of jail and where they should be, in a hospital or treatment setting receiving help. Additionally this keeps individuals with mental health disorders out of prison where they will not be able to effectively handle their disorder, such as a substance abuse disorder. Instead of jail, those in crisis can receive behavioral therapies, counseling, medication and other mental health services to help them recover. This not only helps the person 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 properly treat them in an appropriate mental health recovery program.
